Chapter Three: The Blessed Below - Episode 58

WEBVTT
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.079
I don't know, Bertie.
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.719
Let me tell you the witch or why.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.000
Which why I'm up here is I done killed the wrong man.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.159
By all rights, the treasure's mine.
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.960
By rights, I should have all the treasure.
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:03.600
Okay.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.120
Gentlemen.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.480
Where did we leave off?
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:14.480
Good question.
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:15.599
Next question.
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:26.719
So the last the last episode, uh Bertie and Tate went to um oh wait, no.
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:28.079
No, we ended.
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.920
The last episode ended with us on the roof of the.
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.599
It began with us on the roof of the four-story building where uh we'd killed the two members of Divisio.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.879
One in the stairwell and one on the rooftop.
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:44.159
Presumably Divisio.
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:45.280
Presumably Divisio.
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:46.879
We strongly suspect.
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:52.319
Yeah, I think Tate thought that they were members of the cult of the uh could be both.
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.840
Oh, could be could be one, could be the other, could be a combo.
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:56.400
Yep.
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.359
Um that's when Cockkins showed up.
00:01:59.519 --> 00:01:59.920
Yep.
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.560
Took us back to the police station.
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:08.240
We met two of his buddies that are kind of more on board with us and Cokkins.
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:08.719
Yeah.
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.479
The sheriff showed up.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.560
Super tense encounter there.
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:14.960
Somehow walked away alive.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.879
That was a Tarantino-esque level attention.
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:20.240
It was, I felt.
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:21.199
Yep.
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.039
Yep, we met the sheriff.
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.680
Um Cockins, uh, the two other deputies.
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:29.360
Let's see.
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.080
I didn't get their names.
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.639
Benjamin and like Matthias or some shit.
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:35.840
Okay, Benjamin and Matthias.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.960
Or Matthias or M-A-T-N-I-A-S or something like that.
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.159
Yep.
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:52.400
It was uh Matthias Brissick, Benjamin Knowlton.
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:53.680
That sounds right.
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.319
And uh so Bertie's still got a hole in his shoulder.
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:07.120
And the plan after we left the sheriff's office was to go to our new hotel, I believe.
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:08.560
Or did we go to the old one?
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.439
We went to the old one and and split up a little.
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Tate went and left a note for uh Creedmore's friend in their previous meeting spot, and then went and Augustus?
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:25.280
No.
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.000
We don't know his friend's name.
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.639
Oh, Creedmore, Creedmore's friend, yeah.
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.719
The guy, the guy you had that shadowy encounter with in the alleyway.
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:35.199
Yep.
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:36.719
Yep, with the purple eyes.
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.280
Yep.
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:45.360
He left a note for that man there, and then went and had a conversation with a separate entity.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.159
Oh, this is news to Bertie.
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:49.439
Birdie was not in the room.
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.599
Ah, spoiler alert.
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.439
And I believe Birdie's just in his old room.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.680
Yeah, I don't know what you're doing.
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.439
Unless Game Master, Mr.
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:06.560
Zenner.
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:20.079
For the listening audience, full disclosure, uh, there was a new addition to the old Parasol production family, uh, which led to a a week or so break.
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:21.519
So we're playing catch up.
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.279
Yeah, well, I think it's been like three now because I was sick the one.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:25.839
Yep.
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.920
We had to take the one off.
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:29.279
We had to take two off.
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:29.680
Yep.
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:30.800
Whoa, what was that?
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:31.439
Me.
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:32.000
Oh.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.720
I I thought that was the music for a second.
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.399
You're like, cool, man.
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.120
But now we're back.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.040
And hungry for more.
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.600
Do you wanna do you wanna say anything about the not really?
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.439
The new OPP member?
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:50.639
Future CFO.
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.959
I'm just making some internal notes here.
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:00.639
Yeah.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:09.839
To the best of my memory, uh, Bertie was still at our old uh, what is it, the red roof in or something like that?
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:10.639
Red tent.
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:10.879
Yeah.
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:19.199
I don't know if you were going to meet somewhere else or what, but because uh Bertie can walk, but it's not like he's healed.
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.720
Yeah, weren't we gonna bring you to a doctor?
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.839
I think that's where we ended.
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.079
You might have been at the doctor's.
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.600
I think I was at the doctor's.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.920
Yeah, because Bertie was high on pills.
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:33.279
That's right.
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.279
So it makes sense that you don't remember.
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:36.000
Yep.
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:37.199
Aha.
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:39.519
Even better.
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:45.759
Like, well, we used to give people cocaine for the pain, then we found out that it was habit forming.
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.120
So we moved them onto this new miracle drug that's called heroin.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.959
Oh, and now we've upgraded to fentanyl.
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:54.639
Mmm, yes.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.160
Okay, guys.
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:05.839
Let's start the scene with you guys leaving the doctor's office, right?
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.600
I think that makes sense.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.040
Well, I don't.
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.439
Did Tate go back to Bertie yet?
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.120
Do we need to maybe listen to the last couple minutes?
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.680
I don't know if he went back to him yet.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.360
Oh, because he was talking to the apparition, and then that's where we ended.
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:26.160
Yeah.
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.040
So we can start with the end of that and Tate going back to the doctors.
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.120
Just breeze into that.
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:34.560
Okay.
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:41.759
Take Clay.
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.120
Where where did he meet him?
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.000
Like the back of the hotel or whatever?
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:46.480
Yeah.
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:50.480
Tate Clay standing.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:54.800
I just get comfortable.
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:56.879
Get real comfortable.
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:58.720
But not too comfortable.
00:06:58.879 --> 00:06:59.199
Okay.
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.800
Tate Clay looking to his side, standing behind the back of the hotel.
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:16.240
Sees his new friend suddenly vanish.
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.279
As if it was never there in the first place.
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:20.079
Gone.
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.639
No hop.
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:23.839
No mist.
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.120
Just gone.
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.480
Smelling that cigarette smoke fades just as quick.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.639
What does he do?
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:44.959
Smelling the smelling the smoke of the cigarette, Tate will light up one of his own.
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.079
Build up a little bit of ash and flick it off.
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.800
Take a deep breath to himself and head back to the hospital.
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.399
And we can kind of fast forward a little bit through the medical treatment.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.720
The doctors have taken good care of Bertie.
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.079
How many points down is he?
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.079
Birdie was down.
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.199
Birdie is now at well, he was at 11 hit points.
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:18.399
Out of 14.
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:19.519
Out of 14.
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.120
Go ahead and add one.
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:21.680
Okay.
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.959
He walks out of the walks out the door into the street right about when Clay is walking up.
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.559
Birdie was shot in his right shoulder, I believe.
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.159
Because he's left-handed.
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:35.600
Yes.
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:36.240
Okay.
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.600
So he can still he can still sling some iron.
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.679
I remember you physically pointing at it.
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:42.000
Mm-hmm.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.679
Like, ah, yes, exactly.
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:45.759
All right.
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:47.519
How you feeling?
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:57.840
I mean, right this second, there's just the barest of throbs going on kind of in the background, right in the periphery, if you will.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.159
But other than that, I feel good.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.000
Like I feel, I feel real real nice.
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:07.919
Yeah.
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:13.679
I know I'll there'll be hell to pay later, but right now, right now I'm doing good.
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:22.559
And they they gave me a grave me a sack of these pills here and kind of told me how to keep on my feet.
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:27.600
Well, let's let's lay off those as much as possible, Bertie.
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.919
What kind of pills?
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:37.840
Oh, I'm thinking it's uh, you know, what it did I don't know if they had morphine uh or like heroin in pills back then.
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.279
Maybe it was all injection.
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:40.960
Pain pills from the hospital.
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.399
Yeah, it would have been like lead, it would have been like a lead pill or something.
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:45.519
No, no, no, no.
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:59.039
They um in 1910, they had uh I know that they were they were using um uh like I think I think they transitioned to heroin actually.
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:07.279
I'm pulling this off from the the TV show The Nick, which is about a surgeon in a hospital in 1900.
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.679
Heroin, it would have been heroin heroin.
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:10.240
Yep.
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:18.320
Uh and I think that would have been uh administered intravenously, so I don't have a satchel of pills, we'll have to scratch that.
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.799
Uh roll a 1d3.
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.240
So just like a d6 divided by that is a one.
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:31.759
So for one hour, Bertie is a little nauseous.
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.080
His mobility is is down, right?
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:37.600
He's uh little little stumbly, but not too bad.
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.840
Uh that was a natural one, so yeah, half hour.
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:43.120
No, just stop.
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.799
Uh and then his uh sanity, quote unquote, is improved, which I think we already see.
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.879
Because remember, he took a pretty big hit.
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:51.840
Oh yeah.
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.600
Um, so there you go.
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.720
Yeah, should be good to go for a minute.
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.919
Well, let's head to the forest real quick.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.279
Lead the way.
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:09.919
And then I guess we head there and on the way had uh had a chat with a little friend.
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:10.720
Hmm.
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.960
This little friend got a name.
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.320
No.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.559
He doesn't have a face either.
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.720
Is that our friend from the woods?
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.279
No, no, that's Creedmore's friend.
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:22.559
This is this is our friend.
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.480
Uh I'm gonna call him the Watcher.
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:25.919
The Watcher.
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.120
Yeah, he's the one that uh remember told me about you?
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.399
And you were up in your room getting attacked by God knows what?
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.759
I think you you guys did talk about little oh the faceless friend.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:36.879
Marge mentioned him.
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:37.120
Yep.
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:38.159
Yeah, that's right.
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.240
Yeah, yeah, I'm picking up now.
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.879
He uh well spent some time watching Creedmoor.
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.360
And what did he have to say?
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.960
Yeah, you just uh Creamore didn't have nothing to say.
00:11:52.080 --> 00:12:02.000
Well, made small small potatoes, but that's a big win for our plan the way I see it.
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.080
Big win for our plan, yes.
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:09.519
It's uh damn shame he had to go the way he went, but good to know he went out strong.
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.679
What else was there?
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:20.240
And uh he's gonna do a little watching for us for a while.
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.039
You know, that makes me feel better.
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:28.320
Well, it's uh another eye that sees a lot more than we do.
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:35.440
He doesn't uh doesn't know what's in the middle of Sierra Tin, though.
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.720
But he's saying it's wrong.
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.200
Doesn't belong here.
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.080
But it's not the same thing he is.
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:47.759
Got it.
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:56.240
Well then I guess we'll just have to do our best to rid Sierra T of whatever they got, you know, that's rotten at the core over there.
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.720
Yeah, it might be best to rid the world of Sierra Tin, Bertie.
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.919
Well, that would be an extreme response.
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:12.080
These type of ideals, you know, they they don't just die with the source.
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.759
They live on with the people in the area.
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.159
I mean, we'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it.
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:25.519
Right now, I wouldn't like our our initial plan to be scorched earth.
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.000
Roll me one of them cigarettes, will you?
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.320
Just just take one already.
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:34.559
And he hands you one of his.
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:36.480
Thank you.
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.200
They got this fancy thing, uh a filter.
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.159
Uh, is that a thing in 1910?
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.519
I just watched uh history of Mad Men?
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.759
Oh, the Men Who Built America.
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:54.080
And uh the filtered cigarette, I think, came no 1950s.
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.679
Oh, the earliest one was in 1920.
00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:59.120
So this has no filter.
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:00.320
That was pro prototype.
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:01.919
Scratch it, scratch it, scratch it.
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:02.799
Delete that, yep.
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:10.159
Because uh in 1910, I think the most common form of tobacco consumption was the cigar and chew.
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:12.960
Cigarellos and I mean like each nut.
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.440
Yeah, you know, little cheroot.
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:16.240
All right.
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:18.799
What are you guys doing?
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.240
Balls in your court?
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.200
Tate hands Bertie one of his cigarettes.
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:24.799
Thank you kindly.
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:32.799
I think we uh we pass through time, wait for Zwarsen.
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:34.240
Let you heal up a bit.
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.399
You know, that sounds like a good plan.
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:42.480
I think I could uh lay low and get a glass or two of whiskey in me.
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:43.120
Yeah.
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:45.840
Help all help along with the healing process.
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.879
Well, let's see what's by the forest and go from there.
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.080
All right.
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.440
Does the forest inn have a bar?
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:05.679
Very small, very small, like you know, corner of the basement type of thing.
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.159
Oh, looks good enough for us right now.
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:10.240
As long as it's wet.
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:15.440
There's a there's a little bell to ring, ring for service.
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:21.039
Like it's like it's got two posts, and there's a bell with like a rope right on the bar top.
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:22.559
Tate rings it.
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.120
And we take a seat.
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:36.399
Bartender comes out, he's uh young-ish looking man.
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:38.639
Hey, what can I get for you?
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.759
Two whiskies.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:40.799
Two, please.
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:41.519
Neat.
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.080
Alright.
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:43.600
Uh and for you?
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.559
Uh same.
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.720
Four whiskeys, neat, got it.
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.919
And he and he has two in each hand, right?
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.039
Like in the interlace in his fingers and slides them up to you.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.360
Cheers.
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.440
You guys got any snacks back there?
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.480
Uh I can get something.
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:07.679
Cool.
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.879
I gotta I feel like I gotta eat a eat a little something right now.
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:18.159
After a minute, he brings out a plate of sunflower seeds.
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:23.440
That's the best you got?
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:25.519
Uh yeah.
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:28.080
Yeah.
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.320
Bertie's gonna chew on some sunflower seeds.
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:36.799
Kate's gonna slide a 50 cent piece across the bar.
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.120
How about you grab us some peanuts?
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.639
Would they, I mean, were peanuts really widespread?
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:45.679
I'm trying to think.
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.399
Were they?
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.320
Uh peanut farm?
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:50.080
Would you find peanuts in Minnesota?
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:54.879
Well, I mean, that would be a trade good for sure, because you know, they grow peanuts in the south.
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:55.919
That's what I was thinking.
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.200
I was like, sunflower seeds, I could see them having just a bag of those.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.679
Dude, there's a the the rail car gets here.
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:02.559
Yeah.
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.559
Uh yeah, I can bring out some.
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.720
Yeah, I'll bring a little box of them.
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:07.759
Appreciate that.
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.200
Now we're talking.
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:18.160
He comes out and he brings a uh bag of peanuts, just a sack of them with uh with a bowl for the shells.
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.799
Classy joint.
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:21.599
Mm-hmm.
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:23.920
Yeah, you guys need anything else?
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.680
Just ring that bell.
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:27.440
Alright, thank you kindly.
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:38.000
Uh and Bertie's gonna uh he's gonna sit there and nurse his second whiskey and uh shoot the shit with Tate.
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:43.200
Yeah, and this is just a small like three and a half person bar, right?
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.519
With like some candles lit.
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:52.640
I mean, we're part of Tate's hope is that people that we know will find us here.
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:53.839
Okay.
00:17:54.559 --> 00:18:03.839
So that's why he's staying at the bar and a little visible and just hanging out and talking, but he's keeping an eye on the door, nursing all of his liquor.
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.880
And Bertie is uh Bertie's in a mood to have three or four whiskeys.
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.240
And then we just unless anything happens, let time pass.
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:13.759
What time of day would it be?
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.880
About like five, six, maybe now at this point?
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:18.079
Probably.
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.240
We'll say it's the afternoon.
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.680
Well, because uh when did we shoot the baddies on the top of the roof?
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.799
Was that like 10 a.m.?
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.480
Oh, that was night time.
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:27.599
No, no, no.
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.720
No, that was during the day.
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:29.200
That's right.
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.720
Because you saw the glint off of the yeah, that was like midday.
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:34.559
Yeah, it's how I remember like lunchtime.
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:36.079
Probably like five, six.
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.480
Yeah.
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:43.200
I mean, uh going to a doctor and getting a wound cleaned out, you know, properly and bandaged and the conversation.
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.200
It's probably at the sheriff's department.
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.079
It's probably later evening, seven, eight o'clock.
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:48.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.839
We'll say six thirty.
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:50.640
Done.
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.559
Six twenty-seven.
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.319
Um six twenty-seven, thirty-six seconds.
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:57.440
I like this scene.
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:01.279
I I I want to be at this bar with with these two guys.
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:08.960
The scene I have in my head, it there's there's lots of like wood trim, it's very rustic, kind of like the the rest of the place.
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:12.079
I I think I described the lobby that way, right?
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:14.480
Lots of lots of wood tree type of stuff.
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.559
Just a very cozy uh and clean place.
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.599
It's clearly history, but like well taken care of, right?
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.400
There's polish on the wood.
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.319
Yeah, and smells decent.
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:32.720
There's not like stains and the two agents sip their whiskey, then they sip their second.
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.680
I imagine they're both kind of like exhausted mentally, so maybe they're not too chatty.
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.839
Little conversation here and there.
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:49.599
I'm kind of imagining one of them pulling out a notepad and and kind of like summarizing some of the stuff for the day, maybe like uh theory crafting what's going on.
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:57.440
That would uh have to be Tate because Bertie's only got the one good arm and it's it's working right now.
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.799
I'm gonna take that from you pretty soon here.
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:08.480
For the listening audience, um young Sedeski uh just has a pipe, just a metal pipe.
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:13.200
He just he's like playing with, and now he's scratching the back of his head and he he looks elated.
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:15.759
It's part of a window curtain rod.
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:17.039
Oh, wow.
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:17.920
Yep.
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.759
Metal pipe.
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:20.319
Rod.
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:22.400
Metal pipe sounds too cool.
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:22.960
Yeah.
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:24.480
It's a curtain rod.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:28.559
So the second whiskey goes down.
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:30.640
Do they ring the bell?
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:33.200
Bing ling ring ling.
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:35.039
Guy comes back out.
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:37.039
I have another one.
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.640
I'm gonna need two more of them.
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.119
Uh Tate holds up one finger.
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:43.839
Gave yourself away.
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:46.480
It's not how we do one here, we do this.
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:54.880
He pours the three drinks, sets them down, and then uh a couple footsteps echo behind the two.
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.039
There's no mirror behind the bar.
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.759
Tate checks over his shoulder.
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:05.119
There's a man in a hat, trench coat, thick mustache.
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:07.920
Tate pulls out the stool next to him.
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.160
How long did Zwarsen say he would take?
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:10.960
A day.
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:12.559
Has it been a day?
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:14.079
I don't think so.
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:16.240
I think we learned that that morning.
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:17.680
Hey fellas.
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:19.279
Hey?
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:20.799
Come for a drink?
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:21.680
Yeah.
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:27.359
One hell of a day.
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:28.799
You could say that.
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.319
What'd you guys find out?
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:31.680
Got your letter?
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.079
Take it, seeing you're here and all.
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:34.960
Yeah.
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:37.920
So what'd you find out?
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:39.599
Sheriff got to him.
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.000
We think the sheriff got to him.
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:44.240
He pauses and bites his lip.
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.599
Curdy's dead.
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:46.799
Shakes his head.
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:50.640
Tate slides one of Bertie's whiskies towards him.
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:52.079
Thanks.
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:53.599
He downs it.
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.279
He reaches behind I'll get you another.
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:59.680
The two agents and rings the bell, reading.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.319
The little sign he orders another round for all three of them.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:04.960
Yep.
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:11.839
When we went and checked out his uh hotel room, it been tossed.
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:25.119
Someone laid a trap there, wired up shotgun, and uh spotted a glint through the window and figured, rightly so, that someone was scoping the area.
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.799
So Yeah, they had a long gun pointed on them.
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:29.599
Yep.
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:37.920
So I went went to that building with Tate on the roof of the hotel that Creebmore was staying at.
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.000
Found two folks.
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.920
One of them was on the roof, the other one was in the stairwell just below it.
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:45.920
Yeah, Jesus, you look like shit.
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:48.319
Well, you should see the other guy.
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.359
But yeah, they they weren't the talking type.
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:59.519
One in the stairwell went down without much of anything.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:09.440
One on the roof must have had a poison pill on him of some kind because he bit down, and that was that.
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:13.759
I found a couple things on him.
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.960
Uh here's here's the hey Tate, you get that.
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:18.720
I can't get my pocket.
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.839
Tate will grab the note and hand it to him.
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:28.160
Seems like they were instructed to keep an eye on that place.
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:33.519
You guys also remember you were checking the handwriting.
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.839
Do you remember what the consensus was?
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:41.759
Because all all of the deputies rolled their own uh yeah.
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:52.960
And uh after that we wound up, you know, Deputy Cockins showed up and we went down to the station with him and we compared the handwriting.
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:58.319
Uh we're pretty certain that the handwriting is Sheriff, Sheriff Garvey's.
00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:59.279
As Bertie's talking.
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:00.640
You're talking about that note.
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.480
Tate will hand him both notes.
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.039
Okay.
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:09.119
Both the note from Creedmore and the note that we got off of the people on the roof.
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:23.039
As Bertie's talking, uh Fontaine peels the mustache off of his lip, kind of rubs it, makes like a ugh type of face, and stuffs it into a breast pocket.
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.279
So what what two notes?
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:41.279
We had the note off of Creedmore that said he talked, and then we had the note that we got off of the people that we killed that said, go here and watch this window.
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:43.359
Okay, he takes the two notes.
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:47.279
So you know that one he points to the one we got off Creedmore.
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:55.119
That one we cross-referenced with some of the sheriffs writing at the sheriff's office, and almost certain it's his.
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.039
Yeah, it's pretty obvious.
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:03.039
But uh you look at the I right here, you compare that to the D lowercase.
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.440
I mean, this is very obviously the same.
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:09.759
Well, that's what we thought as well.
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.759
Yeah, but I can almost make a guarantee.
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:16.720
So the two hitmen sorry to sorry to interrupt you.
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:20.319
The two hitmen were from the sheriff.
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:22.480
Do they have any identification on them?
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.000
They didn't have any identification on them.
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:26.720
None.
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.799
The deputies didn't recognize him.
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.039
Not that we knew.
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:38.079
So I'm thinking either uh Sierra 10 or Divisio.
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:39.519
Makes them both.
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:44.160
Do you know what time I saw Creedmore?
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.599
I I not Creedmore.
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:47.680
I saw hold on, let me scratch that.
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.279
The sheriff was at the barn as we thought he would be.
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:58.240
What time would he have had to uh you know take care of Creedmore?
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.839
That's right, that is a questionable timeline.
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.079
I mean, there would have been a couple hour window there, but it's still pretty close.
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:14.640
If you made it back after checking out that place, uh that gives the sheriff enough time to make it back.
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.920
Well, what happened with uh his friend?
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.279
His friend came and saw us.
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.440
Well, me specifically.
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:24.480
Uh huh.
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:28.319
Saying he was on a saying he was gonna be there.
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:30.880
I see in that timeline.
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:44.240
I I think Creamore might have approached him a little too boldly and taken they ran him there to uh I don't know, it was kind of a secret stash house.
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.400
Creedmore probably thought his guardian angel was watching him.
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:50.079
I thought too.
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:56.160
So the sheriff killed Creedmoor.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:59.599
He says Creedmore talked.
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:00.960
He didn't.
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.200
He set up he didn't.
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:04.640
He didn't.
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:09.039
He looks over at Bertie like and then back to Clay.
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:11.119
Explain that.
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:19.119
Well, I got it on very good authority from a trustworthy set of eyes.
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:24.079
But that's all about I can say on that.
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:35.920
He reaches over and rings the bell another time, orders one more for himself and looks over at the two agents like, you want anything?
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:37.279
Tate nods.
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:38.160
Yes.
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:40.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep him coming.
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:44.400
Fontaine orders another round.
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.200
Well, I suppose that's pretty typical in this line of business.
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:55.200
I'll take your word for it.
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:02.640
So then the sheriff piles, right?
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.680
Calkins.
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:05.759
I thought it was Garvey.
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.240
Oh, that was a different one, wasn't it?
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:09.359
The sheriff himself?
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:10.079
Orson.
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:11.440
Orson, yeah.
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:12.079
Okay, yeah.
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:13.440
He would he would know that.
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:21.759
So Sheriff Orson sets up two he has a visit with Creedmore, then he sets up two guys to keep an eye on his room.
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:24.559
That's the he said a booby trap, you said?
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:28.160
I had a shotgun pointed through a door.
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:30.720
You guys did say there was a booby trap, right?
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:31.039
You did.
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:31.920
Okay, okay, okay.
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:36.240
So obviously he's not working alone.
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.440
Yeah, well, if he Creedmore said that the guy must be.
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:51.200
I mean, there's gotta be more than just sheriff's department, you know, agents, whatever.
00:28:51.599 --> 00:29:00.559
Well, considering they can roll up in a town in the middle of a night, snatch a few people and roll off without being seen or heard.
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:04.640
Goes to show there's quite a bit of people going at work.
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.359
Well, let me tell you something.
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:17.519
So when I was uh over at Answorth, I managed to get my hands on one of the we'll say mid-level gang members, one of the claw drags.
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:23.279
Not too high, not too low, high enough to know stuff, low enough to talk when he felt threatened.
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:29.680
The gang members, and Fontaine kind of looks around a little bit, make sure the room is empty.
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:37.200
The gang members in Answorth, and I suspect this is also true of the folks here, what's their names?
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:38.799
The uh Windsies.
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:43.279
They're working with they're working with the uh folks in Sierra Ton.
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:48.000
The two groups are trading for these green gems.
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.119
So claw drags, sell guns, women, etc.
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:59.519
Sounds like the Windsies specialize more in chemical, you know, substances, opium.
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:06.880
They trade these things for the green gems, they do with them what you guys, I'm sure, can figure.
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.759
And then they sell the gems to the sheriff.
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:10.480
All of them.
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.319
Wholesale, very expensive.
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:14.640
They make a lot of money off these green gems.
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:21.039
I'm not 100% sure if they know what uh well, surely they must know what you guys know.
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.680
Why the hell is the sheriff buying them all?
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:33.599
Well, that tells me, makes me think that that the sheriff is probably working on Divisio, right?
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:38.559
The rest of these folks are working on Sierritin trying to get this green jam stuff out.
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:43.440
Think it's a whole I think I don't think it's all Divisio.
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:49.119
I think Divisio uses this place and their green jams as a resource of sorts.
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:51.920
Now, what they're using them for exactly, I don't know.
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.000
Although I do know that, you know.
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:56.319
Where's the sheriff getting his money?
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:58.799
That's why I'm thinking Divisio.
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.440
Well, we know Creedmore said that he was Divisio.
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:04.160
We don't know how he knew that.
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:09.920
But I have no reason not to trust him, or well, had.
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:13.680
Now we don't even know what he knew about Divisio.
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:14.480
Yep.
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.400
Sad that he passed.
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.200
Do you know much about that organization, Fontaine?
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:26.559
What's the word?
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:28.000
Suboctor?
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:29.279
Ring a bell?
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:35.920
No, I think that came up in the report that Zorsen gave me, the one you guys were a part of.
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:36.960
But it would.
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:54.799
Once or twice and I bumped into some odd situations, odd people in the agencies, in the departments, you know what I mean?
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:01.599
People who clearly had some kind of ulterior motive.
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:15.119
The name Divisio, we've seen, we've heard, whispers, folks mention, hush tones.
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:20.400
What you guys found out in the mountains was substantial.
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:22.640
But it all got buried.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:25.519
Did I tell you about that?
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.519
No, you did not.
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:28.400
Buried.
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:34.400
When Zorsen and I went out there, double check everything you guys saw, most of it was gone.
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:35.920
Damn near all of it.
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:38.319
I think you might have said something about that.
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:42.079
The buildings, the bodies, the documents.
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.799
There was fragments, but some crew came out and wiped that place.
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.920
I mean, that would have been a that was a lot of people involved.
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:51.359
Yeah, had to be.
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:57.519
I mean, they they found a way to manufacture a suit against fire.
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:00.319
Well, those have been, I mean, that's a thing.
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:12.480
It's but but to get enough people out into those woods in that remote area and clear up everything like that, did they just burn it all down or I mean it was clean.
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.359
Hmm.
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:22.000
That's probably the same people that uh took out the watch guards and that fire tower.
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:22.960
Exactly.
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:37.359
That for a job of that size, you're talking heavy equipment and a lot of manpower, uh, which means Divisio is better funded and and supplied than I first assumed.
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.440
I mean, we're funded by the federal government, so that ain't no surprise to me.
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:45.279
Yeah, and they sent out two agents here, you know.
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:56.640
So two agents versus probably 30, 30 to 50 men to clean up a spot like that out in uh in uh what's that Apollo's cradle.
00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.680
Well, they sure know uh more than we do.
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:08.800
Well, it also screams uh of like, you know, a focused purpose, right?
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:21.119
You know, the government's got stuff going on all over the place, so they can they don't have the resources to throw around everywhere, but these guys looks like they're devoted, heavily invested in whatever it is we're looking into.
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:33.119
It's a long story and it's not mine to tell, but he burned some bridges not uh some time ago.
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:35.360
I got friends in high places.
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:41.920
Uh you know, whatever operation is going on, it's not known to people.
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:44.880
I don't know.
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:52.079
But it doesn't seem good.
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:54.239
No, it does not.
00:34:54.480 --> 00:35:05.119
You got people here implicated purchasing some kind of weird green occult gem using local gangs to source it.
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:11.280
You got that same group trying to harness the energy of some entity.
00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:23.039
Do you think if uh if you looked inside someone's mouth, you could find one of those pills pretty easy?
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.320
Yeah, probably.
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:30.639
My uh what we found was that there's some it's it's a lead capsule full.
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:33.440
You bite down on it, it breaks it open.
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:42.159
So why don't we try to learn more about Divisio and this organization?
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:44.719
Why don't we go after the sheriff?
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:47.039
Seems like a dangerous man.
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:48.639
Three of us?
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:50.880
Maybe we wait for Z.
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:53.360
Yeah, let's wait for Z.
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:56.960
Maybe we do some preliminaries.
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:07.840
A little who's abouts and where'sabouts and go and twos and it sounds like you've got some friends in uh around town.
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:09.840
I plan on asking.
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.280
Ask him tonight.
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:16.400
Zorsen should be here tomorrow.
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:18.880
Tomorrow morning, God willing.
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:24.400
If it's all the same to you, fellas, I'm gonna sit this one out tonight.
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:38.719
I feel like I feel like my next date is with a pillow and probably twelve hours of uninterrupted bliss because I am dog tired.
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:40.719
Yeah, you should get some sleep, pal.
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:44.239
It's uh convene in the morning.
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:46.960
I'll find you.
00:36:47.280 --> 00:37:00.719
I think uh looked like they had some pretty good breakfast right down the street, so at this point I'm a little nervous about the three of us being together out, you know, where windows can see.
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:02.800
Agreed.
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:08.400
We uh should probably apply a bit more uh caution.
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:11.199
Kate will tell him our room number.
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.480
Okay, toss him his key.
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.599
We'll be in touch.
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:21.920
I think we'll be in bed.
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:23.199
That's right.
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:31.360
He throws some cash on the table with a very healthy tip, finishes his drink, tips his hat, and leaves.
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:36.719
Well, that was productive.
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:42.480
Any info is good info, but can't stop yet, Bertie.
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:44.079
Uh I'm not looking to stop.
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:48.880
Just looking to get a bit of a you know, charge up a bit.
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:49.920
Yeah.
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:55.679
Me too, but I'd be lying to say if I wasn't feeling a little vengeance in my heart.
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:57.519
Oh, you and me both.
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:00.960
Let's head up.
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:02.639
He'll get what's coming.
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:08.000
Bertie's gonna stuff a handful of those peanuts in his pocket.
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.480
Tate's gonna grab the sack.
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:13.360
Okay.
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:18.159
You guys are retiring for the night, so Bertie heads to bed.
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:24.000
And you and I'll have a little scene before the night is over.
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:26.159
What is Clay gonna do?
00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:30.000
Bertie, I hope you don't mind us set an alarm for a few hours from now.
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:31.519
Set an alarm.
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:32.639
Yeah.
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:41.760
Did they have those little clocks that hit the bells with the with the little hammer with the go-da-da-da-da?
00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:42.559
Yeah, yeah, sure.
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.320
He sets an alarm for yeah, okay.
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:46.239
He sets it for like midnight.
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.599
And go sleepies.
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:56.719
Do you want me to step out so you guys can do midnight shenanigans?
00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:59.280
So you're gonna wake up at midnight and then go have a chat?
00:38:59.440 --> 00:38:59.840
Yes.
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:00.320
Okay.
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:02.400
Yeah, you wanna you wanna step?
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:04.480
I actually got a few real quick.
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:06.239
Step by step.
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.039
The alarm goes off.
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:22.719
Tate stops it really quick to not wake Birdie up.
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:33.039
Tate reaches his hand and suddenly the alarm stops before he's even touched it.
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:35.679
There's this weird blur on it.
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:37.599
There's this weird sound.
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.199
Looks frozen.
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:46.239
Good morning.
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:49.679
And he touches it.
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:56.239
It feels like it's moving in slow motion, and then it stops altogether.
00:39:56.559 --> 00:40:00.480
He's lying there, feeling a little confused.
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:03.679
I mean, what how would he react to that?
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:09.599
I think it would be a like quick jolt up.
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:16.480
In walks, a coyote.
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:31.440
It walks with grace, delicacy, with intent, with knowledge, and he recognizes this coyote.
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:37.280
Not necessarily because of the way that it looks, but the way that it feels.
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:44.960
It sits very politely and looks up at Clay, kind of by the foot of the bed.
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:50.000
And then in walks a man.
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:57.280
He's wearing a shirt with buttons, a backpack, very square, made of leather.
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:06.079
There's weird churning noises coming from it, and suddenly Clay feels like a difficulty moving.
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:11.199
As if something's catching up to his body.
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:33.920
The guy with the leather backpack and the button-down shirt, kind of a khaki color, grabs the chair in the corner of the room, spins it so the back of the chair is in front, and he puts his legs, leans on the back of the chair.
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.159
We've met before, haven't we?
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:43.280
Kate's gonna like slap himself in the cheek a little bit.
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:46.239
For people that think that they're still asleep.
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:51.119
For some reason, his hand feels slow, almost like it's moving through mud.
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:54.159
But he does make contact with his face.
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:56.320
Oh, you're awake.
00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:57.599
This is happening.
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:00.480
But we've met before, haven't we?
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.239
Or was that somebody else?
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:03.679
Do I recognize him?
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:05.119
No, not at all.
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:11.599
You know the guy, yeah.
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.480
Well, him, yeah, but us.
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:18.400
No, maybe not.
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:20.400
Don't think so.
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:25.039
Aren't you the one that needs glasses now?
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:26.400
It's not me.
00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:29.760
The one that uh the thing with the crows.
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:32.159
Not me.
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:34.800
Oh shit, you must be the other one.
00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:36.159
Is that a problem?
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:39.840
Uh no, no, that's not a problem.
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:42.400
Uh not from the bookstore, right?
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:42.880
Not the book.
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:44.079
You weren't at the bookstore?
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:45.360
Or you were at the bookstore?
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:50.000
I've been to a bookstore, but you didn't see me at a bookstore.
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:51.119
I don't think so.
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:52.000
Shit.
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:55.519
He looks over at the coyote.
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.280
And then he looks back at you.
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:00.880
Well.
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:04.960
And then he stops and he looks back at the coyote.
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:08.719
And he nods, almost like they're having a conversation.
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:10.639
He's looking at it.
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:12.159
Yeah, okay.
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:14.400
Well, I mean, he's the wrong.
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:17.199
Uh yeah, okay.
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:19.840
He looks back at Clay.
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.039
So uh kind of fill me in a little bit.
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:24.480
Where are you at right now?
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:27.599
Answorth?
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:28.960
No, no, no, no.
00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:29.360
Well.
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:30.559
Can we?
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:31.519
Sorry.
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:35.119
Let's slow it down a little, please.
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:41.199
Oh, uh just just Do you have the dynamite yet?
00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:42.719
Humor me.
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:44.559
What's happening right now?
00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:46.639
Well, I don't have a lot of time.
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:47.440
Okay.
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:52.000
But do you have the explosives, the dynamite?
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:54.079
I have more than that.
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:55.039
Okay, good.
00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:55.360
Good.
00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:56.480
Good, good, good.
00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.519
A lot's about to happen coming up here.
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:01.679
Whatever happens.
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:05.840
Uh, and he looks over at the coyote.
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:06.880
Yeah.
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:09.119
Well, am I, I mean, does he?
00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:10.719
Okay.
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:20.079
Whatever happens coming up here, you gotta, gotta use that dynamite.
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:26.960
There's something in the center of this uh walled town kind of cult thing.
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:27.679
Yep.
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:29.360
Tracking on that part?
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:33.280
Yep, you gotta you gotta blow it up.
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:36.480
And there's this on it already.
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:43.039
There's this whirring, chirring, like mechanical sound coming from this leather backpack behind him.
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:44.159
Okay.
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:48.719
I I mean that that has to h I can't say a whole lot more than that.
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:50.400
Well, that's the plan.
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:52.079
Questions for me?
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:56.000
If you can leave us anything that would help, would be great.
00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:01.199
Uh or maybe point us towards the sheriff.
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:02.800
Oh, um.
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.760
He looks back to the coyote and it looks at him.
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:09.760
No, I can't tell you that.
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:10.320
Um.
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:12.960
What else?
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:14.320
Your name?
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:16.960
Uh, I don't know about that one either.
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:20.159
Well, what can I call you then?
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:26.800
Uh see, that's tough.
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:29.039
Because it might be different next time.
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:32.320
Uh, I guess call me John.
00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:33.840
John, it is.
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:34.400
Mr.
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:35.199
Doe.
00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:39.039
But that's not really my name.
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:40.639
Well, you can call me that.
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:47.599
Listen, time's of the essence here.
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:51.679
I I I need to stress there's something at the center of that place.
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.199
You really gotta get rid of it.
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:54.800
And you're not with Davisio.
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:56.559
Oh no.
00:45:58.320 --> 00:45:58.639
No.
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:01.599
But you're not with the CPMP.
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:03.280
No, that's you.
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:04.719
Yes, I know that.
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:05.599
Not me.
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:06.800
You're on your own.
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:10.000
Well, uh, in a manner of speaking.
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:11.920
Okay, last question.
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:12.480
Go.
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:16.559
How the fuck are you doing this?
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:17.920
How?
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:21.920
And he's gone.
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:24.079
And the alarm is going off.
00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:26.719
Tate will shut the alarm off.
00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:33.039
And in case you forgot, we are in a.
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:35.920
We are sharing a hotel room.
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:38.320
Tate and Bertie.
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:40.400
Bertie stirs a little bit.
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:49.199
Shaking his head, and he goes and smacks his cheeks a few more times.
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:54.239
And kind of blinks some grogginess out of his eyes.
00:46:56.239 --> 00:47:00.000
Fucking shit gets weirder every fucking day.
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:02.559
He's gonna throw on his boots.
00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:07.519
Tuck a throw on some sort of jacket he's got.
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:11.519
And he wants to head outside to an alleyway behind.
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:16.480
Behind the forest inn.
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:17.360
Yep.
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:20.480
You watchin'.
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:24.719
He lights a cigarette.
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:27.119
About five minutes pass.
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:33.119
Clay smokes his cigarette, enjoys the night, the moon, the stars.
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:35.920
It's quiet.
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:37.280
It's cool.
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:38.800
It's calm.
00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:41.840
Slight breeze blows.
00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:50.000
That breeze reminds him of that moment just before he walked in and found Creedmore.
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:55.760
That image flashes in his head.
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:58.960
He hears Creedmore's voice.
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:01.760
The last time they ate together.
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:03.519
Last time they talked.
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:18.239
The first time they met in a storm, thunder, mountains, knocking on the side of a wooden building, smelling the smell of a cigarette.
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:25.199
And then he smells cigarettes.
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:32.079
And he knows that his faceless friend is there.
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:38.239
I'm hoping you saw what just happened in there.
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:50.000
In where the room and table point up towards the hotel room.
00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:55.280
Resting.
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:02.400
Something.
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.079
Could have been subconscious, I guess, if you didn't see nothing.
00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:11.760
Beyond.
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:17.840
Hoping you can point me towards the sheriff.
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:27.760
Tell me where he might be or is going to or is living or hanging out.
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:30.800
Planning on going after him soon.
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:32.320
Tomorrow, hopefully.
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:52.639
And my friend knows.
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.079
Yep, your friend knows.
00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:59.360
What friend you fucking ask?
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:04.880
I got I think I got too many friends now.
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:13.039
Okay, we'll head back upstairs and probably pass the fuck out.
00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:19.519
He gets up to the room, Bertie is sitting upright, sweating.
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:22.719
With that, please bring in Bertie.
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:24.239
You want me to go out?
00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:25.039
Yeah.
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:32.960
Okay, Trey.
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:49.360
Bertie heads to bed.
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:52.079
Passes out like a brick.
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:54.880
Just like that.
00:50:59.119 --> 00:51:04.079
He does he have any green gems on him?
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:05.039
Yes.
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:08.639
Believe he has three.
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:12.079
His eyes close, passes out.
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:14.960
Deep, dark, restful sleep.
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:21.519
And then he sees intestines.
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:23.840
Digestion.
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:25.119
Pulsing.
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:28.639
Something growing.
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:29.519
Something eating.
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:31.360
He's getting impressions.
00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:35.119
He hears a scream.
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:41.360
As if it's being pulled from the depths of one's soul.
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:45.599
A transference of energy.
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:51.440
He feels like an itch.
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:52.480
An itch.
00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:53.599
An itch.
00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:57.599
Right where the wound is.
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:05.519
Physically, he's he's mentally still dreaming, sleeping, but he feels this itch and he scratches at it and scratches at it.
00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:13.199
He opens his eyes and he's not in his room.
00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:15.519
He's in another room.
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:19.519
Different place, different space.
00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:21.599
Same time.
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:27.199
There's a man he recognizes.
00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:28.800
Sheriff Orson.
00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:32.800
He's speaking to another figure.
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:33.920
Short.
00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:36.800
Dark cloaked.
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:39.440
Feathers.
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:51.599
It speaks in a voice that's incomprehensible.
00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:53.599
And the sheriff speaks back.
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:09.199
Bertie has a very difficult time computing what's being spoken, but he sees out the windows of this building.
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:11.519
He sees a street sign.
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:19.360
Twelve, thirteen.
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:36.159
Suddenly the shadowy figure turns.
00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:39.679
It looks directly at Bertie.
00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:51.920
And then Bertie wakes up, sitting upright, sweating, his wound feeling itchy, scabby, far too scabby than it should.
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:52.480
Itchy.
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:57.519
Clay Clay walks into the room.
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:00.239
And that's where we'll end it.
00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:03.679
Yo, save that save that five.
00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:32.960
But you already knew that.
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:33.840
I didn't have to tell you.
00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:43.280
But I'll tell you anyway, because you and I just have that kind of relationship where I can be inside your ear hole and, you know, we can chit-chat for a little bit.
00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:50.719
So I'm going to start by a big shout out to our patrons in no particular order.
00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:56.559
Number one, well, I'll say big uh big thank you to some new patrons.
00:54:56.800 --> 00:54:59.119
Uh Garth Hansen.
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:00.480
Hey, welcome.
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:02.159
Xander is here.
00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:09.679
Canned bread, Glan's Dilzig, Carter Garcia, Paul Davis, Steak and Totoro's bang.
00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:11.360
But some of you guys already knew it.
00:55:11.519 --> 00:55:13.599
You already knew it, but thanks.
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:15.360
Seriously, we appreciate it.
00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:18.480
Big time, bigly, humongously, we appreciate it.
00:55:18.559 --> 00:55:19.360
It helps a lot.
00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:24.079
As I've said before, um, doing the show is not free for us.
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:31.920
Uh, we have expenses, and your guys' Patreon subscription helps us uh continue to make this show, you know.
00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:35.280
Um, some other things.
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:38.320
Uh oh I mean, the merch.
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:44.559
Okay, we have prints, we have shirts, we have some new shirts on there, long sleeve, short sleeve, some pretty cool stuff.
00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:47.440
Uh go check it out, take a look at it.
00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:50.639
Uh, if you have feedback, oh, follow us into the next thing.
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:56.239
Hop in the Discord, let us know what you think about the merch uh or about the show.
00:55:56.400 --> 00:56:02.880
I mean, if you guys have theories, if you guys have um ideas, if you guys have uh whatever, complaints.
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:05.840
I don't know, file some complaints on the Discord or email me or whatever.
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:12.880
Um but yeah, I guess that's maybe everything I have right now.
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:27.440
Um, I've been pretty busy in in the real world outside of the show with with a myriad of things, some good, some bad, but you know, I'm I'm keeping my head above water, and that's the important thing.
00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:33.119
And I've said this before, and I know you guys know it, but like things get better.
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:38.800
Uh things for me right now are pretty good, but stressful, right?
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:44.639
I I have a lot of expenditures on my energy, you know what I mean?
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:48.000
But overall, things are are really, really good for me.
00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:58.559
I I've had some bad stuff happen in my in my days, but um, and if you have some bad stuff going on, I I hope you know that, as I've said before, things get better.
00:56:58.719 --> 00:56:59.280
They really do.
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:00.239
They really, really do.
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:03.679
And maybe I'm preaching to the choir, maybe I'm preaching to people who don't want to hear it.
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:05.360
If you don't want to hear it, I'm sorry.
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:06.000
But guess what?
00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:07.360
Like things get better.
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:13.119
And and maybe, you know, you're comfortable in the place that you're at.
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:16.000
Um, but things could get better, right?
00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:20.239
You could go to the gym, you could go for a walk, you could get a better job, you could apply.
00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:21.760
I mean, there's all kinds of things.
00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:29.199
I've known a lot of people in my life that have had a lot of potential or opportunity, right?
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.960
And and they just never really used it.
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:42.079
Um and there's nothing wrong with that inherently, but it it's always like, I don't know, it's always just a bummer.
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:45.360
It's a bummer to see like, you know, wasted potential, right?
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:49.599
Somebody who could go a lot further than they are, who could do a lot more than they are.
00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:55.360
And and if if you at all feel like you want to do more, do it.
00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:56.320
Just try it.
00:57:56.480 --> 00:57:57.440
Just try.
00:57:57.679 --> 00:58:00.960
You know, that that's like the the biggest thing is just trying.
00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:03.280
And if and everything is a marathon.
00:58:03.519 --> 00:58:04.800
This is an important thing to remember.
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:10.000
Like everything's a marathon, you know, it's not, it's not, oh, I'm gonna get everything done tomorrow.
00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:13.360
I'm gonna get everything done in a week, I'm gonna have this huge life change.
00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:27.280
Um, you know, if you're like, for example, right, let's say you you you want to go to the gym for whatever reason, it that the results that you see from that take months, not weeks, not days.
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:28.719
They take months.
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:32.239
But you have to know that those are down the line.
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:34.320
There is a there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:38.320
If you want a higher paying job, you want a better job, whatever.
00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:45.679
Like maybe you have to go back to school for a little bit, maybe you have to get a certification, maybe you have to go get some training out of the way.
00:58:45.840 --> 00:58:46.800
Um, whatever.
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:48.320
Maybe you want to start a business.
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:50.239
I maybe you want to write a book.
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:56.159
Like it, it starts with the first page, starts with the first chapter, starts with the first word, right?
00:58:56.559 --> 00:59:08.719
Um I just uh I think a lot of people could do things and maybe they're scared to, maybe they don't have the energy to, maybe they don't have the motivation to, maybe they don't believe in themselves, or maybe they're impatient.
00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:12.320
I think the the the impatient one is is what I see the most.
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:15.360
The either people are impatient or they don't believe in themselves.
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:22.159
And um I mean, I uh be patient with yourself and know that you can do it.
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:26.079
And I think that's that's what I'll leave it at this week.
00:59:26.320 --> 00:59:27.760
Uh we'll be in touch.
00:59:27.920 --> 00:59:28.719
Have a good one, guys.
